Fandom needs UBI. I'm serious, can you imagine how much more art and writing there would be in the world if people didn't have to grind for their right to exist? I am starting to have so many feels about how the world should support people better so that my fellow fans could write more/podfic more/fanart more etc. - it is a sorry state of the world when people don't have time to read or hone their crafts and hobbies. *sings Solidarity Forever*

Someone expressed a call for patience. It is not always the season for the ingredients that go into my fandom stew pot. Patience and time will bring many good things with them for the slow and careful recipe that is my fanwork. I will meditate on this.

So many of us have brain and energy issues! It's not just me, and I don't think 1/10th of us get the support we need. It's not just an American problem, either.

The disability hoops are the same kind of BS up here in Canada, of course, as

sabotabby can affirm from her own observations.

I've heard that and it makes me sad, I know no country is perfect but I'd wanted to believe Canada was less of a trash fire than the US. At least you guys haven't had Trump but that's... a really low bar.

Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario, sounds kinda like the Canadian version of Trump. They have comparable policies, certainly.

Ford is one of seven premiers I'd consider Deeply Problematic right now. I know of politicians at several of the opposition parties in Ontario looking to do better and make a kinder government. And my current federal MP was part of a team bringing in an experimental UBI test run that Ford stopped immediately upon being sworn in, back when she was part of the provincial Liberals. I suspect that if she thinks she has a shot at bringing in a federal UBI...she might take it. She's not in the cabinet, but that may not matter.

Watch my account for further news, I guess...?
